UK Charts – FIFA 12 Jumps Back to the Top

by on December 27, 2011
 

UK Charts - FIFA 12 Jumps Back to the TopMaybe advertising campaigns do work after all, or maybe it is coincidence, but FIFA 12 has had a very strong presence on UK televisions this Christmas and as you may have guessed, it is back at the top of the UK Charts.

Activision can be a little happier too, as Modern Warfare 3 is in second place, whilst The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim drops right down to 8th place, so perhaps the heavily discounted price was a lot to do with its recent chart position. Speaking of discounts, Rayman Origins has been at a low price recently and finally gets back into the top 20, in 19th place – and you should grab it whilst it is cheap, because it’s brilliant.

Star Wars: The Old Republic debuts in 10th place, which isn’t bad for a PC only MMORPG. Our review for SWTOR is some way off at the moment, but we’ll have something on it for you pretty soon to tide you over until then.

Both Zumba Fitness and the sequel are inside the top twenty this week, reminding us all of how capable they are of dominating the charts too.

As always, click the game title for our review.
